June 9, 2012 — The fateful day that Ye released the successor of his signature shoe with Nike, the Nike WMNS Dunk Low CL Loganberry. Knowing what we know now, it’s hard to believe that at the time Ye’s entrance onto the sneaker scene was hardly perceived with acclaim. Despite the fact that Ye has been a longtime trendsetter in a multitude of industries, his early days as a designer were met with a tinge of skepticism. While the initial nike air zoom pegasus 37 marathon running shoessneakers was iconic in its own right, this sneaker didn’t turn heads as one would anticipate, leaving us completely unprepared for the frenzy that was caused by the Nike Nike WMNS Dunk Low CL Loganberry.
The Nike Nike WMNS Dunk Low CL Loganberry felt momentous not just for its impact on sneaker culture, but for fashion at large. The revolutionary sneaker refined its predecessor by slimming down the silhouette and adding audacious details and conceptual elements. Coming in colorways of “Solar Red” and “Pure Platinum,” the Nike Nike WMNS Dunk Low CL Loganberry incorporated Egyptian mythology with intricacies like hieroglyphics, pyramids, and the falcon deity Horus. The rear overlay featured anaconda scaled-leather that complemented the silhouette’s monstrous ridges that extended off the back of the heel. With the attention to detail and finishing touches like the glow-in-the-dark outsole, the Nike Nike WMNS Dunk Low CL Loganberry made a statement in any space.
